A Gentleman’s Reckoning by Jennie Goutet is part of the Bachelors of Blackstone series, and is a stand-alone novel. Lady Eugenia Stanich loves volunteering at The Foundling Asylum for orphans. She has a heart for children and feels more loved there than at home. John Aubin, a gentleman who has been shunned from society, is working at the orphanage under a different name. He is there to seek revenge on the founder who also happens to be Lady Eugenia’s father. They both connect, like each other, but what if Lady Eugenia finds out who John really is?
I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet Regency romance with its dual POV. I loved the sweet banter, romantic tension, and the fascinating setting of an orphanage in Regency London. The author does a nice job of introducing you to others in Regency England besides the ton. Lady Eugenia and John were wonderful characters who experienced redemption and became the best versions of themselves. Watching John transform from a rake to good man was beautiful to see. Both characters did not let the past dictate their future.
The author has written such an original, beautiful and memorable story that will stay with you. I enjoyed this character driven story and highly recommend A Gentleman’s Reckoning by Jennie Goutet.
I was given a complimentary copy and not required to write a positive review.
